Blended Cement Systems with Zeolitized Silica Fume

Effect of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) on Blended Cement (Fly Ash based) and Silica Fume Blended Cement and their Concretes

This paper presents the effect of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) on Blended Cement (Fly ash based(BC)) and Silica Fume Blended Cement(SFBC) and their concretes. The BC and SFBC and their concretes BCC and SFBCC produced with HCl dosage of 100, 150, 300, 500 and 900 mg/l added in deionised water. In addition to this control specimens were prepared with deionised water (without HCl) for comparison. The ...

Influence of silica fume on the microstructure of cement pastes: New insights from 1H NMR relaxometry

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: 1 H NMR (B) Silica fume (D) C–S–H composition (B) Density (B) 1 H NMR has been used to characterise white Portland cement paste incorporating 10 wt.% of silica fume. Samples were measured sealed throughout the hydration without sample drying. Paste compositions and C–S–H characteristics are calculated based on 1 H NMR signal intensities and relaxation analysis. T...

Low Temperature Synthesis of Belite Cement Based on Silica Fume and Lime

This paper describes the low temperature synthesis of belite (β-C2S) from silica fume. Mixtures of lime, BaCl2, and silica fume with the ratio of (Ca + Ba)/Si = 2 were hydrothermally treated in stainless steel capsule at 110-150°C for 2-5 hours, calcined at 600-700°C for 3 hours, and analyzed by FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA, and SEM techniques. Dicalcium silicate hydrate (hillebrandite) was prepared by h...
